When adding new patches we should strive to keep the same formatting. A good rule of thumb would be to copy-paste the layout of the previous patch. Just remember to remove all the content on the page, but not the tables. Update game versions and dates. Add relevant images. Adopt a simple bullet listing of changes. Split changes for expansions and stuff packs into new level 2 headlines. Most importantly: Don't add, modify or delete the notes from EA's site. Correcting a typo or punctuation error is okay, but keep notes, clarifications, helpful links and after-thoughts in references. [[User_talk:Duskey|| Duskey |]] 14:44, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Style

When adding new patches we should strive to keep the same formatting. A good rule of thumb would be to copy-paste the layout of the previous patch. Just remember to remove all the content on the page, but not the tables. Update game versions and dates. Add relevant images. Adopt a simple bullet listing of changes. Split changes for expansions and stuff packs into new level 2 headlines. Most importantly: Don't add, modify or delete the notes from EA's site. Correcting a typo or punctuation error is okay, but keep notes, clarifications, helpful links and after-thoughts in references. | Duskey | 14:44, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to User:A morris I've been able to make a template for patches. At the time of writing it is only implemented on the Patch 12 page, so please use that for copy+paste of future patch notes. Duskey(talk)(blog) 03:39, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
Added the {{Patch-nav}} template, only added to this page so far. I'm thinking the forced category should be removed from the patch template and moved to patch-nav. Duskey(talk)(blog) 18:52, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Directories

I'm beginning to think naming the patches with only the second integear was a bad idea. I'm also abit dubious about having a 'patch' and 'patch #' under the Sims 3 page. I'm beginning to like 'The Sims 3/patch/1.12.7' more for example. Restructuring would be abit of pain. Especially since I'm sure we can expect an Ambitions patch soon'ish to fix all the new bugs. I'm not quite sure whether to do this before or after. Duskey(talk)(blog) 03:41, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
